Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Carbon dioxide

His primary scientific interests are in Dissolved organic carbon, Hydrology, Environmental chemistry, Organic matter and Total organic carbon. His study in Dissolved organic carbon is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Permafrost, Ecosystem, Terrigenous sediment and Biogeochemistry. The various areas that Robert G. M. Spencer examines in his Hydrology study include Colored dissolved organic matter and Remote sensing.

His study on Biogeochemical cycle is often connected to Context as part of broader study in Environmental chemistry. His Organic matter research includes elements of Aquatic ecosystem and Arctic. As part of one scientific family, Robert G. M. Spencer deals mainly with the area of Total organic carbon, narrowing it down to issues related to the Water quality, and often Estuary.

His most cited work include:

  • Fluorescence spectroscopy opens new windows into dissolved organic matter dynamics in freshwater ecosystems: A review (658 citations)
  • Measurement of Dissolved Organic Matter Fluorescence in Aquatic Environments: An Interlaboratory Comparison (370 citations)
  • Illuminated darkness: molecular signatures of Congo River dissolved organic matter and its photochemical alteration as revealed by ultrahigh precision mass spectrometry. (352 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

His scientific interests lie mostly in Dissolved organic carbon, Environmental chemistry, Hydrology, Organic matter and Oceanography. His Dissolved organic carbon research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Total organic carbon, Colored dissolved organic matter, Permafrost, Biogeochemical cycle and Biogeochemistry. His work carried out in the field of Total organic carbon brings together such families of science as Water quality and δ13C.

Within one scientific family, Robert G. M. Spencer focuses on topics pertaining to Ecosystem under Biogeochemistry, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Glacier and Glacial period. His work in the fields of Environmental chemistry, such as Aquatic ecosystem, intersects with other areas such as Composition. His Organic matter research incorporates elements of Sediment and Groundwater.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Dissolved organic carbon (66.26%)
  • Environmental chemistry (46.09%)
  • Hydrology (27.98%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2019-2021)?

  • Dissolved organic carbon (66.26%)
  • Environmental chemistry (46.09%)
  • Oceanography (19.34%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

Robert G. M. Spencer spends much of his time researching Dissolved organic carbon, Environmental chemistry, Oceanography, Carbon cycle and Arctic. He combines subjects such as Organic matter, Biogeochemical cycle, Groundwater, Glacier and Nutrient with his study of Dissolved organic carbon. In Organic matter, Robert G. M. Spencer works on issues like Hydrology, which are connected to River mouth.

His Environmental chemistry study combines topics in areas such as Ft icr ms, Chronosequence and Pan arctic. His Estuary and The arctic study in the realm of Oceanography connects with subjects such as Silicon. The study incorporates disciplines such as Colored dissolved organic matter, Cryosphere, Soil water, Nutrient cycle and Biogeochemistry in addition to Carbon cycle.

Between 2019 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Changes in groundwater dissolved organic matter character in a coastal sand aquifer due to rainfall recharge (16 citations)
  • Fundamental drivers of dissolved organic matter composition across an Arctic effective precipitation gradient (12 citations)
  • Groundwater as a major source of dissolved organic matter to Arctic coastal waters (11 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Ecology
  • Carbon dioxide
  • Ecosystem

Dissolved organic carbon, Arctic, Environmental chemistry, Oceanography and Permafrost are his primary areas of study. His work carried out in the field of Dissolved organic carbon brings together such families of science as Organic matter, Atmospheric sciences, Precipitation, Groundwater and Plateau. His Arctic research includes themes of Glacier, Window, Carbon cycle, Nutrient and Outflow.

Many of his studies on Environmental chemistry involve topics that are commonly interrelated, such as Effective precipitation. His Biogeochemistry, The arctic and Circumpolar star study, which is part of a larger body of work in Oceanography, is frequently linked to Mercury, bridging the gap between disciplines. His study in Permafrost is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Environmental monitoring, Discharge and Water pollutants.
